The group continues forward after the shocking discovery made by Bernard. They keep their distance as best as they can from the strange moss covering most of the walls and ceilings in the structure, hoping that it mostly scavenges carrion and not actively will attack them. As they continue, Nolan holds up a hand signaling the group to hold. "Do you all hear that?" Metallic sounds come from ahead, seeming as if they are approaching the group. They round the corner to see a pack of canine-like synthetic creatures. Their multiple mouths are quite horrific, but they appear to be eating the moss away from the walls. That is until they catch a smell of the new arrivals. The creatures turn to face the crew, jumping forward to attack!

As the creatures begin to flee from combat, Nolan holds up a hand, signaling to his crew mates. "Stand down! Save your ammo. They're buggin' out!" The strange creatures continue fleeing, the party takes a moment to breath before looking over the creatures.
Combat End
The crew reloads their weapons and look around, surprised that the creatures were unable to get within reach and start dealing damage back to them. "Good shooting. That could've gone a lot worse," Nolan says as he looks over to Bernard. "Any idea what these things are?" Bernard shrugs, eyeing the corpses left behind. "Seems like whatever they are, they seemed to be cleaning up the strange moss. Maybe they are some kind of automated cleaning crew. Though looks like they haven't been able to hold back this infestation, whatever it is. I say we should try to give them a wide berth. They can clean this sight up, but if we pick them off, then the moss might overwhelm the site."
Nolan nods in agreement. "Sounds fair. Get your gear sorted and lets press on. We'll have to find a different direction from where they went. Stacey take point. Lets move."
